Pros

Agilent is a great place to work. It is more than a spinoff from HP. It continues to hold the values of the HP culture.

Cons

Recently, the company has had a number of layoffs in different areas - with the downturn in 2002 and the latest downturn.

Pros

Good high caliber people in the trenches.

Cons

Within Agilent all the focus is on the Life Sciences side of the business. Although T&M is a very interesting high tech industry, it is a mature business. Agilent is the dominant player in T&M but the business is moribund. Since the massive layoffs of 2009 there is a survival mentality. Don't expect much recognition or promotion.

Pros

Flexible working time; professional process and management; mentorship program; Management by objectives; the oppurtunity to learn the programming tecnology and experience the industry process

Cons

The performance feedback review frequency is too low, once per year; the emphasis of the management team is put on the stakeholder, not on the employees; the relative salary difference between America and China is much bigger than other complanies
